Chapter 18 - 14 How Will My Brother Survive
Before Li Guanshi could speak, Li Nanshuang hurriedly said:
"No way, although my master has a dashing and handsome appearance, barely worthy of your sister Li, my master's wife is famously jealous and fierce like a tigress! Back at Wu Xia Nunnery, that nun with the surname Xu almost got the big Buddha statue smashed by my master's wife just because she threw a flirtatious glance at my master, which made my master kneel and wash clothes for three days and nights..."
Listening to the girl's endless chatter, Li Guanshi stretched out her jade-like finger and poked the girl's forehead, saying with an amused laugh, "With your master's bear-like demeanor, only your master's wife would treasure him like a gem."
Li Nanshuang chuckled with relief, her worry subsiding.
Li Guanshi asked with a smile, "Do you have any young man in mind? If you do, you should seize the opportunity early. You are still young; don't end up like Ms. Li here, disdaining one and despising another, ultimately becoming a Shi Xiuqiu that no one dares to catch."
Li Nanshuang shook her head, "No, not at all."
The girl muttered softly, "All that lovey-dovey stuff is such a hassle; I'm never getting married in this lifetime."
Li Guanshi smiled, a wave of sentimentality washing over her heart without warning.
Being young is wonderful.
No matter how glorious and beautiful a woman might be, nothing is as hard to regain as "youth".
She glanced at the glaringly conspicuous tomb blade behind the girl and said softly, "There is no need to seek enlightenment outside; the spiritual seed sprouts from the heart. To pursue asceticism and to comprehend the Dao while engaging with the world, it is right for your master to temper your nature; never let yourself sink into suffering."
